Bar-Maids doesn’t create average moisturizer, it's an eco-luscious
moisturizer to fit your lifestyle. Bar-Maids offers a wide variety of
scents so you can find one just right for you, and if scent isn't your
thing then Buck Naked is your go to. If your skin needs a lot of love
and moisture then the Body Bar is your product. If you need ecolucious
love and moisture on the go or to tuck in small spaces, there is nothing
better to pop into your favorite knitting bag than a Lo-Lo To-Go. If
you are constantly on your trotters, or like to show off your piggies,
O'For Feets Sake is going to make those puppies feel brand new. So brand
new you'll be running a marathon in no time. Feed your delicate facial
skin with the enriched Face Pudding, pun intended. Use daily for
hydration, or nightly for skin you've only dreamed of. If you appreciate
products handcrafted with precision and love from a stellar little
company, then visit www.Bar-Maids.com for a full list of products and

Jasmin is working on the Kapuzin hoodie, in Lisa Sousa's Hardtwist, in the St Louis Blues colorway.
Trying to pick buttons with Genevieve was challenging. Jasmin has grosgrain ribbon with Thing One and Thing Two, and she went on Etsy and found Cat in the Hat plastic hats that she will turn into buttons.

Also, she has cast on the Fractal Danger by Martina Behm, out of the "Danger" colorway by Abstract Fiber, and it is lovely. (This was from the Bar Maids Knitmore Girls "House Special" box.)

Gigi mentions the Einstein Coat, and how talented the designer (Sally Melville) is and a lot of her patterns are garterstitch, and the designs are very sophisticated and elegant. (Mom mentions The Knit Stitch.)

We have a new prize: Strongheart sock yarn by Fishknits.
